  Nakadungaw sa bintana, mata’y nakagala Diwa ko’y nabigla, may nahulog na tala Napatigil ang oras, namangha’t natulala Puso’y suminta, sa diwatang mahiwaga Nabaliw ang isip, puso ‘ko’y nataranta Sumipa ang dibdib, tumalon sa kanya “Di ko pa nga siya kilala, ako’y nakatali na ‘No pa kaya kung, maging Asawa ko na siya? Sa pagpikit… Continue reading “Sa Aking Mahal na Asawa”

I’m sorry for everything I’m sorry for not being that person I’m sorry for thinking there is something I’m sorry for being a foolish person The memories that we have created All of it will not be wasted For it’s something that I will always cherish Until the day that I perish I promise to… Continue reading Sorry not Sorry

BANTA ni Khen del Prado Nagdidilim ang kalangitan. Tinakluban ng kumot ang malambot na ulap, ’tila ahas ang paggapang nito. Dahan-dahan ang pagsunod, katulad ng buwan na akala mo’y aninong sumasama sa mahabang paglalakad. Ang isang bahagi ay malaya at mabigat naman ang bitbit sa kabila. Unti-unting pumatak.. Hindi luha, kundi luha… Sabi ko nga…… Continue reading BANTA

  Sa pagsilang mo, ang langit ay nagagalak Sa ‘ting harden, mga tanim ay namulaklak Sa pagsilang mo, ako’y ‘lang pagsidlan ng saya Sa ‘king sarili nasabe, ‘ko’y lubos na–na isang ama! Ika’y biyaya, mula sa mapagbigay na Bathala Sa’ming taimtim na dasal, ng iyong Mahal na Ina Ika’y isang anghel, maamo’t inosente ang mukha… Continue reading “Aking Prinsepe”

  Nais kong mapag-isa, kung saan tahimik at payapa Nais kong hanapin ang liwanag, na matagal ng nawala Nais kong galugarin ang lawak, nitong karagatan Karagatan na sumasakop, sa aking kalungkutan. Nais kong umiyak, sa pagbuhos ng ulan Sa pagkulog at pagkidlat, saka ko lalakasan Nais kong malunod, sa aking nararamdaman Gustong kong lasapin ang… Continue reading “Ang Aking Kalungkutan”

May dalawang unknown variable Kaming dalawa ay babae Kailangan isa lang i-isolate mo At, sa huli siya iyong pinili mo Masaya kana ngayon sa piling niya Ako ang nasasaktan habang kapiling mo siya Alam ko naman siya sa huli Kahit anong pilit ko na ako sana sa huli Bumalik ka sa aking harapan Humihingi ng… Continue reading Pinili Mo SIya

NASAAN KA? Sa aking paglalakad, kasama kita. Sa aking pagsakay sa bawat sasakyan, kasama kita. Sa aking pag-iisa, kasama kita. Sa bawat kasiyahan at kalungkutan ay kasama pa rin kita. Pagod ang aking katawan mula sa mahabang aktibidad, Masakit ang aking ulo at mabigat ang pakiramdam, Wala akong makausap o mapaglalabasan, Nagpapasalamat ako dahil ikaw… Continue reading Nasaan Ka?

      Oh, my lady, morning sunshine of my day; Oh, pretty lady, you are glowing so brightly. Come, cometh to me, let’s walk on my vast property; Running from the north to the south, from west to the east. From the top of the mountain ridges; To the plainland of maize, sugar cane… Continue reading “The Sweetest Proposal”

Mahal bakit hindi na lang tayo magsimula ulit sa bagong istorya at itapon at kalimutan ang pait at sakit ng dating tapos na. Patatawarin kita at papatawarin mo ako, mahal kita at alam kong mahal mo rin ako, kaya ano pa ba ang problema? Patawarin natin ang isa’t isa para tayong dalawa ay masaya at… Continue reading No title

  Though I am not one of your gallant suitors, That might be sending flowers and scarlet letters, Though I do not live on the comfort of luxuries, Not a royal blood, neither from noble machineries Your graceful beauty and your heavenly body Made me deeply drown and drive me crazy Your roosy cheeks and… Continue reading “Woman of My Dream”

The fearless heart always into trouble, Bloodshed spread like a hot-spring bubble, Bottle-battle-battered always into rumble, Life and death like a brother bet in a gamble. Then you came suddenly unnoticed, You lead and charge my pride unchallenged, You set the flame back in my frozen chest You tame the beast like the lion quest.… Continue reading “Tame the Lion”

Regrets, what ifs If it’s not meant to be, then it’s not I didn’t mean to say it No turning or looking back No more exception Past is never present No need to say something No more, nothing is right, and left Wake up in your reverie Get away from lies Forgive and feel Stop… Continue reading Run Slowly

Rain drops on our rooftop As tears drop down her cheeks The memories drown her in sorrow Because she knows past is past   She will only live in the past As he lives in the future As they pass by each other The sweetness has already faded   What once was there is now… Continue reading It’s Not Over Yet– HAVE HOPE

I fought a million battles throughout the years I travelled the land and the sky with my gears I conquered people and nation bind altogether With my incredible skills and a mighty power   I set sailed to the pearl of the orient sea I wandered about its people and its glory I am now… Continue reading The Fallen Knight”

You let me see your world through your eyes, You let me feel my presence like it was so special, You let me hear the sweet music of time, You let me learn this complicated thing called love–   Why you don’t tell me the truth and the reality? Why you let me drown and… Continue reading “The Broken Melody”

You’re still bright and lovely as you always seem, After a long day wait-the night falls to my eyes, Though it sad to see you cast away from the sky, I knew you would still love the howling voice of mine, I’m still glad that we shared the same light, Until the next cycle of… Continue reading “The Wolf and the Moon”

Let’s fly together like the birds in the wild, Let’s play the kite beneath the cloudy-cotton sky, Let’s enjoy the chilling breeze surrounding us, And hear the sweetest-unison rhythm of our hearts.   Let’s stare our eyes like the twinkling stars, Let’s see our souls like the beauty of the fire ball, Let’s stay for… Continue reading “Garden of Love”

Nang ikaw ay makilala diko lubusang insahan na ikaw ay mapapalapit sa aking puso. Na habang dumadaan ang mga araw, tuwing maririnig ko ang pangalan mo ay nagsisilbing musika na napakasarap ulit-ulitin na pakinggan. Sa tuwing binabasa ko ang bawat salita na iyong binibigkas ay di mawari kung saan nanggaling ang bawat ngiti sa akin’g… Continue reading Bagong Kabanata

The more we hold on further do we drift, as moon and sun are you and I. With love besought in heavens night, but time will build a silent rift. For though earth wakes and black skies shift, they work so hard but fail to try, to seek hath naught we say goodbye. In wasted… Continue reading In Absentia

Buhay nga ay sadyang mapaglaro Dahil ikaw at ako ay pinagtagpo Nagsimula sa konting asaran At sa mga birong madalas pagtawanan Nagsimulang lumalim ang nararamdaman Ng hindi ko man lang inaasahan Pero wala ka pading napapansin Kahit napapadalas ang pasimpleng tingin Pero ako’y nasaktan ng aking malaman Na ikaw ay may ibang nagugustuhan Pagkagusto ay… Continue reading Pasimpleng Tingin

Life can be so surprising In the midst of my darkest coldest morning you rushed like the magical sun slowly rising pumping my heart with warmth reviving its beating   Together we turned experiences into stories did things for the first time and made memories swirled to places we thought were mysteries and conquered fears… Continue reading Bretztaking

Bituin kay Hirap Abutin Parang sya lang na kay Hirap sungkitin. Bituin Bituin ako’y nagpipigil, Nagpipigil na ika’y abutin dahil alam ko’y ikaw ay napakahirap sungkitin. Nais kung Abutin kita sa aking kamay, ngunit ako’y nakatayo at nagmamasid lamang sa Itaas kay hirap mo Sungkitin , Dahil higit pa sa Isang Daang Kilometro ang layo… Continue reading “Bituin”

Parang babae’t lalaki Ang dagat at lupa Magkaibang elemento Magkaiba ang komposisyon Mahirap basahin ang isipan ng babae Kung paanong hindi kayang unawain Ang iba’t ibang bugso ng alon sa dagat May naiibang tikas naman ang lalaki Katulad ng mga bato sa lupa Na siyang pundasyon ng nagtataasang gusali Gayunpaman, Palihim na nag-iibigan Ang dagat… Continue reading Sa Dalampasigan

  I want you to keep me not a like jewelry you wear only for occasions, or like a camera that you want to capture only the good locations. I want you to keep me like a song you’d listen when you’re happy or not, like a poem without a rhythm, or like the twilight… Continue reading I want you to keep me…

Tama, mali na naman ako Sa pagkakataong binubuhay ko, Yung ‘gusto’ na ayaw mo. Oo maniwala ka, wag kang mag-alala Hindi ipipilit pa, iiwasan nang balikan pa Mga pagkakataong inihahayag ang nadarama. Oo, ikaw. Di ba’t hindi pa tayo handa. Sapagkat ang puso nati’y may hihinintay pa. Mali, tama nga bang ibigin ka? Hindi mapigilan… Continue reading Malabo

Your blue orbs are looking at me; Your warm hands are holding me. You leaned closer, As I felt your lips into mine. My heart is pounding; My legs are trembling. But all of a sudden, I woke up. That was just a dream. I love you so much. You loved me too, In my… Continue reading In My Dreams

Goodbye is not the easiest word to say, when it’s time to go through our separate ways. From all the memories; good times and bad, You are the only one friend that I ever had. Letting go is not the easiest thing to do, when it comes to you. For all times you were there… Continue reading It’s Not East to Say Goodbye
